The offshore meteorological mast at OmÃ¸ is located 11.25 km north of the island of Lolland. The mast lies north of the Vindeby met. mast on Lolland and south west of the Tystofte met. mast on south Zealand providing a transect of on- and off- shore wind speeds. In most directions the distance to the nearest land is between 12 and 30 km although the island of OmÃ¸ lies to the north of the site. The mast itself is a purpose built triangular lattice meteorologcal mast of 48 m resting on a base with a height of about 2 m giving a top measurement height of 50 m. The mast has no access to a telephone line or mains power. Data from the site are stored using a low-power dry battery operated system and are transmitted by satellite data transmission system to RisÃ¸ using a new system developed in the Wind Energy Department. The measurements are used to estimate the wind resource at the Nysted wind farm which is currently under construction and for scientific research to support the development of offshore wind energy.
